I lived at Hollis Oak for three years ( on Peralta side) and overall I had a really positive…read moreexperience. The location is amazing. It's far enough away from Lake Merritt that you don't get constant foot traffic, but it's still close enough that you can easily enjoy it whenever you want. It's about a 7-minute drive to Lake Merritt, and you can also walk there if you enjoy longer walks around the neighborhood. I used to go there often just to walk around the lake. There are also several grocery stores nearby within walking distance, so the area definitely isn't a food desert. I actually lived on both sides of the building, one unit facing Hollis Street and another facing Peralta Street. The Hollis Street side does have larger windows, which is nice for natural light, but personally I preferred the Peralta side. Parking can be a little tricky like most places in Oakland, but there's usually plenty of street parking on the parallel streets. Just make sure you pay attention to street cleaning days because you will get a ticket if you forget. The biggest downside is that the walls are very thin. You can definitely hear your neighbors. However, when I did have an issue once, I simply spoke directly with my neighbor and she was incredibly kind and understanding. The walls are just that thin. There was no hostility at all, and honestly it helped build a sense of community. During my time there, I really felt like I became part of the building's culture. The last week I was living there, new management took over, and I had the chance to meet Daniel. Even though I was already in the process of moving out, he went above and beyond to help me. I noticed improvements being made right away, the common areas were being repainted and refreshed, and he was clearly putting effort into bringing new life to the building. There was a small delay with my deposit check, but Daniel stayed in communication with me the entire time and made the process smooth. He even helped follow up while he was sick with the flu, which I truly appreciated. That level of professionalism and care really stood out. I was honestly sad that I wouldn't get to experience the building under his management because it felt like the place was finally getting the fresh energy it deserved. It's pet friendly!!!

I've been a resident here for four years now, as of this May, and I can honestly say it's been a…read morewonderful experience. Over the years, we've seen a few changes in office staff, but the team we have in place now. Tiasha, Angel, Brian and of course Ray, is by far the best we've had. I truly wouldn't ask for a better group of people managing this building. Now, let me take a moment to brag about Ray because he is truly the heart and soul of this community. Ray is one of those rare people who goes above and beyond in everything he does. He's not just attentive. He's genuinely invested in making sure every resident feels heard, supported, and valued. Whether it's a concern about building updates, or simply greeting you with a smile and asking how your day is going, Ray always delivers with kindness and professionalism. What I appreciate most is how effortlessly he connects with people. He remembers names, details, and conversations, and you can tell he truly cares. Ray also throws the best events for our building. And I do mean the best. Whether it's holiday parties, themed socials, or casual get togethers, you can count on Ray to plan something fun, welcoming, and thoughtful. He makes sure no one feels left out and always finds a way to bring the community together in a way that feels genuine. I also want to take a moment to mention Malana, who used to be our full-time evening concierge. She was amazing! She was always warm, welcoming, and attentive to residents. She made coming home in the evenings feel personal and safe, and she will definitely be missed around here. I honestly wish she'd come back full-time, but I understand and wish her nothing but the best. I'm truly happy and honored to call her a friend. When it comes to maintenance, Martin is hands down my go to guy. He truly cares about the residents and the quality of his work. Whenever something needs to be repaired or looked at in my apartment, Martin is always on it. What I appreciate most is that if he doesn't have the tool or part he needs, he makes it a priority to track it down so the job gets done the right way. His work ethic and positive attitude don't go unnoticed, and it makes a huge difference in the overall living experience here. As for the amenities. I absolutely love them. In my opinion, we have the best view in all of Oakland. From our rooftop, you can see the entire city skylyne, and it's truly breathtaking, especially at sunset. The rooftop grilling area is another favorite of mine; I use the grills every summer for family cookouts and get togethers with friends. But my ultimate favorite space has to be the sky kitchen. It's my go to spot whenever I'm hosting an event. The setup is perfect, the atmosphere is inviting, and it's just such a beautiful space to create memories in. All in all, living here has been an amazing experience, and it's largely because of the great office staff, reliable maintenance team, and top notch amenities. I'm proud to call this place home.

This review is long overdue…read more Malana, thank you for helping me with my packages, thank you for making phone calls to me whenever I forget something, and thank you for being a reliable point person who assists me with any building-related issues. Most of all, thank you for consistently being pleasant and maintaining a warm, upbeat personality that's cheerful, optimistic, joyful, funny, and approachable whenever I enter the building. I know everyone has off days, but I've never caught you on one. I truly appreciate you and all that you do to make our building feel like home.

From the very beginning, she was professional, welcoming, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. She took the time to show us four different available apartments so we could truly compare and choose the one that felt right for us. We never felt rushed or pressured -- she made sure we were comfortable and had all the information we needed to make the best decision. My wife instantly fell in love with one of the units. The walls had such a clean, modern look, and the upgraded appliances really made the space stand out. You could tell the apartment was well cared for and thoughtfully updated. For someone living in Alameda, she offered us a great deal that we honestly couldn't say no to. The value for the quality of the apartment was outstanding. We were so excited that we applied right away. The great news is that there are still some apartments available, so if you're considering moving to the area, I highly recommend reaching out. If you're looking for a smooth, professional, and genuinely positive apartment application experience at Alameda Park Apartments, Ms. Pandoria Pugh is the person you want to work with. And hey -- if you decide to live here and end up being our neighbor, make sure to add me as a referral haha! We're incredibly grateful for the experience and can't wait to move

From the application process through move-in, Pandora, the property manager, showed care, kindness, and patience, qualities that have continued every day since. What stands out most is how much pride Pandora takes in the property. She treats it as if it were her own backyard, keeping the grounds spotless, safe, and welcoming. The laundry and pool areas are always well maintained, and she communicates regularly with tenants to make sure we're informed. Beyond her professionalism, Pandora is simply a kind and genuine person. She is always polite and friendly with tenants, delivery drivers, and visitors alike. The atmosphere here reflects that energy, tenants are neighborly, and the community feels positive. After years of apartment living, I can confidently say that Pandora is rare in this industry, and I feel lucky to have found this place.

She was respectful, attentive to my exhaustive list of inquiries, and reliable. Common Space 3/5: After 2 months, you can't overlook the constant demand for repair in the common areas. Something is always broken. Maintenance is on top of it, but it'd be preferable if the issues weren't so frequent and widespread. Personal Unit 4/5: Apparently there are many complaints with no A/C. I work 5 days a week in office and face north and haven't needed the A/C. Considering the cost, the modern stainless-steel appliances and natural lighting are the top selling points. Location 5/5: Phenomenal location with access to many public transportation lines (BART, Bus, Emery-Go-Round) and amazing Asian food scene up the block in Temescal.

The online portal is dysfunctional - it took a really long time for the verification software to stop rejecting my legitimate documents. They won't accept documents through email - and have charged me $20 a month claiming I don't have renters insurance, though I've had insurance the entire time I've lived at MC. On top of that, they tell you that the trash valet is an amenity, but it's another vehicle for unfair charges. They do trash pick up from 8pm - 12am, and if they pick up early, you can call them back to pick it up. If they don't pick it up, then they charge you between $50 - $125, and they will do multiple charges in succession without warning, which is deeply unfair and punitive. I missed out on months of mail because the leasing office assigned me a different mailbox than what the post office assigned me. They will show you the amenities and they will be closed, or broken. A bait and switch - the sky lounge hasn't had functional amenities (like the outdoor fire) for months. They used these glade plug in like automatic sprays which are way too strong, cause headaches, and make the common spaces inaccessible. The smell is very chemical. They charge for trash, on top of trash valet, and will nickel and dime you with impunity. These are all things you'd miss in a tour. If you can afford it, go to the skyline instead.

Jackson Lake Apartments was the best apartment I've ever lived in!…read more There is so much to love about this spot - It's proximity to 580 & 880, right next to Lake Merritt, a short walk to multiple BART stations, 10 minutes away from anything i needed across Oakland, Emeryville, and Alameda. It's the perfect location! I was fortunate enough to snag a 1bed/1bath with washer/dryer and dishwasher. The unit was huge, updated, and very comfortable. I also had a garage parking spot. Best of all - it's so quiet! I have never lived in a quieter apartment! Sometimes I'd just pause on the couch and not hear a peep. So relaxing! I also want to shout out the team. Frankie was so fun to work with when I first toured in early 2025. She's so on top of her leasing and communicative. Thaddeus was always prompt with any maintenance requests, and was always kind. And Laura was the sweetest property manager I've ever met! Anything I ever needed, she got it taken care of right away. Laura is running an awesome team! Everyone at Jackson Lake is so helpful, kind, and cares about their tenants. Just bought a house which is why I've left. But if that wasn't part of my life plan, I would have stayed with Jackson Lake for years. Thank you for the amazing year and half!!!

Super pet friendly and the neighborhood - from a bayside coastal trail to a plethora of amazing breweries makes this location truly exceptional.

It's really the only downside here, but living in an urban environment is really a battle of noise.
